Tony Snow's Litany of Past Sins

[One Sweet World]

HuffPo has an interesting (and long) litany of new CNN analyst/Bush lapdog Tony Snow's past sins. Good point about how this guy is the living, scary side of Colbert's "truthiness":

Snow brings to the table many years of work over at CNN rival Fox News, who he still says he loves. He has even recently said that he would "walk over broken glass" for Bill O'Reilly -- which sounds impressive until you realize that walking barefoot over broken glass is far more pleasant than listening to him. He also served about a year and a half as the Press Secretary for the Bush White House, but he eventually had to step down, citing the mounting cost of his health care. I guess flacking for the plutocracy doesn't exactly pay the bills! It's enough to make one deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply suspicious of the validity of trickle-down economics, and I cannot sarcastically overemphasize this enough.

It may be a tall order, even for CNN, but one would hope that Snow would bring to his new job a renewed commitment to resecting the suffixes from the word "truthiness." But, if his past is any indication, this will be no mean feat for Snow to pull off. Here are numerous reasons why...

1. What I always thought was humorous about the Snow saga

is how he left his radio show where he had a large (and stupid) audience and no doubt good pay to "take one for the team". And when he finally realized he'd fucked up and now had a major health problem, the "team" basically said "Good luck - you are on your own".
If I was him I would be a bit bitter, but hey, I am a Democrat.

2. Large?

I Could be wrong but I don't think he had a large audience. FoxNewsRadio shows like Snows, John Gibson's and "Brian and The Judge" don't have a lot of clearance. If it weren't for NewsCorp getting them on satellite radio no one would get those shows.

3. Large? Maybe. Conservative? Yes

I don't know if his audience was large but it certainly was conservative. And CNN ate it up -- hook, line and sinker.
